HMRC C ompliancy and legislation Should you need to contact HMRC for any Tax queries please call 0300 200 3300 and provide our unique PAYE Ref Number: 577/SA48053 All systems directly linked with HMRC are done so in Real Time Information (RTI) which means as and when an employee moves, changes or alters their working schedule, HMRC are made aware of this in real time and are able to alter calculations relating to Tax codes, Tax deductions and National Insurance contributions. This legislation was introduced in 2013. An area to which this is directly related includes the processing and submission of employees P45 s. Should the assignment have ended and no further pay has been processed after a 12 week period, we will automatically make the employee inactive within our system. If, however, the circumstances change and work is found, we can easily reactivate the employee within our software and continue processing salaries. Please note this does not cancel the Contract of Employment so long as a valid assignment schedule is provided for the new contract. During the entire assignment we are required by default to retain a percentage of every employees salary for Working Time Directive, which employees can opt out of (this will be required in writing). We ask this be requested before the end of the Tax year. Pension Auto Enrolment Pension Auto Enrolment or Workplace Pension Scheme was introduced in 2013. It is a statutory requirement that employers and employees contribute into a pension (state or private). Once registered with us, you will be automatically deferred for 3 months and after this period you will be automatically enrolled if eligible and deductions taken from sufficient earnings. Should you wish to opt in before this date please inform us. About a week after enrolment, you will receive a welcome pack from NEST and will have 30 days in which to opt out directly with NEST. After the 30 day period you will no longer be able to opt out. However, you can choose to cease contributions and any amount deducted up to this point will then be available to you at pensionable age. Please also note that even if you opt out, you will be automatically enrolled with any new employer or if you are with the same employer after 3 years, you will be automatically enrolled again and will need to opt out should you not wish to take part.
